## Description

Buy

Review: 5-ports, good enough for home office or small business setup - Due to the pandemic, the whole work model changed and we spend more time working at home than in the office. To respond to this, we have reviewed our home network and in need of a network upgrade to enhance network security to better protect us. We are upgrading with 'Cisco Meraki Go - 5 Port Security Gateway'. The box arrived in a speedy manner in a well-protected box specially designed for it. Once opened, you will see a very neat and tidy matt white cisco 5-port router sitting in there. It actually matched my home colour. I really don't like those BT black box or metal box hanging around in my home. Opening up to the second layer , you will see all you need to power it up (network cable and power plug) to get it up and running. Once powered up and connected, you can download the Meraki Go app and starts to configure. The setup is very easy and guided. The little box not only can serve as a gateway but also have build-in network security safeguard by Cisco. To the home office and small business, this is an absolutely best solution as you don't always have a very technical people at home/office to help you safeguard your network security 7x24x365. Let this little box do it for you. All updates are automatic, it leaves you with hassle free environment. Then management can done via the Meraki Go app or via browser. Very convenient indeed. The network so far is very stable and nothing goes wrong after the new setup done for a week. I will let it continue to run and update my review if any additional comments comes up. In product description, it mentioned that DNS based security powered by Cisco Umbrella via optional subscription enables content filtering, anti-malware, anti-phishing, and C2C callbacks (ADDITIONAL PURCHASE REQUIRED), as a little home office, I am happy with the current setup at the moment, therefore I didn't subscribe or purchase those functions but I will keep an eye on it for sure.
Review: Expensive pile of rubbish! - Bought three items: gateway, 8 port switch and wireless access point. - Gateway bandwidth is capped at 250mbps, so if you have 500mbps or 1gbps line (which most households do these days), then you are only getting half of a quarter of what you are paying for bandwidth wise. - The app user experience is beyond bad. They made an announcement of web portal being available on the desktop, but it's just the same app, but in a beta version. This is just poor. - The app talks about subscription for further security. You click on buy subscription and it takes you to Cisco website with no instructions on how to buy it. It actually looks like they no longer offer it. - Gateway has a port called internet. I hoped this would offer PPPoE, so I can dump by modem and just use the gateway. There is a support article on their website titled "Meraki Go - How to configure PPPoE on a Security Gateway". NONE of the instructions actually work and it doesn't look like this can be done. - Wireless access point worked intermittently, often not providing internet connection to some of the devices. The irony is that I thought I bought an improvement from deco x20 but feels like I stepped back into the stone age. Returning and not touching their products ever again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to set up a site to site VPN without the need for other 3rd party subscriptions.**
A: Hello charlie,

The Meraki GO product line does not support VPN natively. VPN is supported on Meraki MX series which can do client VPN and Site-to-Site Auto VPN: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Client_VPN/Client_VPN_Overview and https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Site-to-site_VPN/Site-to-Site_VPN_Settings

Thanks

**Q: Does this model support 4G backup**
A: Hello Bernard,

As we already confirmed, the Meraki Go GX20 5 Port Security Firewall does not support a 4G WAN backup connection. It has only one 1GE WAN port.

Thanks

**Q: I was thinking of putting a 4g dongle into the usb port for 4g failover. i understand it's not supported.  what's the usb port for?**
A: USB Port Only has a 5V Power output. With it being a Mid-tier small business machine I think they intend for it to power a low power USB device such as a phone charger. You may be able to have failover support using a Male RJ45 to Female USB A and plug your 4G dongle into that providing the PoE works to power the dongle.

**Q: does this model support PPPoE setup?**
A: Hello RM,

Yes, the Meraki Go GX20 does support point-to-point over ethernet PPPoE WAN connection. Please refer to the following guide to see how to configure it https://documentation.meraki.com/Go/Meraki_Go_-_How_to_configure_PPPoE_on_a_Security_Gateway 

Thanks

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great if you're not using PPPoE
*by A***X on 16 April 2021*

Looks like a good router for most people. Unfortunately for me there's very limited PPPoE support for it, so it won't work using an OpenReach modem, even using recommended settings from the ISP and Meraki. Shame really as Ubiquiti works fine with it. Update: Have tested PPPoE on a FTTP connection and it's fine. Doesn't work for FTTC. I will say that there are cheaper routers with more features. This one is ok, but limited throughout (200Mb/s) and limited features and security mean I wouldn’t recommend this.
